But the townspeople of Oberlin, Ohio, believed there that all people deserved to be free, so Price started a new life in town-until a crew of slave-catchers arrived and apprehended him. When the residents of Oberlin heard of his capture, many of them banded together to demand his release in a dramatic showdown that risked their own freedom.

Book Synopsis The Cost of Freedom by : Susan J. Erenrich
Download or read book The Cost of Freedom written by Susan J. Erenrich and published by Kent State University. This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cost of Freedom: Voicing a Movement after Kent State 1970 is a multi-genre collection describing the May 4, 1970, shootings at Kent State University, the aftermath, and the impact on wider calls for peace and justice. Fifty years after the National Guard killed four unarmed students, Susan J. Erenrich has gathered moving stories of violence, peace, and reflection, demonstrating the continued resonance of the events and the need for sustained discussion. This anthology includes personal narratives, photographs, songs, poetry, and testimonies--some written by eyewitnesses to the day of the shootings--as well as speeches from recent commemoration events and items related to the designation of the site on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. Erenrich, who came to Kent State in 1975 as a college freshman, became a member of the May 4 Task Force, a student organization that continues to the present as an organizing group for marking the anniversary each year. Her involvement with the task force led her to make the many connections with writers, artists, and memory-keepers that have built this collection of primary source material. While a number of books and articles over the years have treated the Kent State shootings and aftermath, this collection is unique in its focus on justice issues and its call for the future. The movement to seek justice, as Erenrich notes, is an ongoing one. These voices call to us to continue to move forward even as we learn from the past.
Download or read book Freedom's Cost written by Janet Uhlar and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nathanael Greene was the strategist of the American Revolution. His role in the War for Independence was second only to General George Washington. Born and reared a Quaker, with no military experience, he was promoted from private to brigadier general over night. Greene quickly became Washington's confidant and close friend. He was chosen by the Commander to lead the Continental Army should Washington be killed, injured, or taken captive. Nathanael's vivacious wife Caty, a favorite of the Washingtons, added brightness to the dark, dreary existence of camp life. She proved to be a source of joy and comfort to her husband throughout the war--as well as a heartache and challenge. It was General Nathanael Greene who pulled the Continental Army from the throes of death at Valley Forge. It was General Greene who petitioned Congress for a Declaration of Independence. It was Nathanael Greene who was given the desperate task of commanding the Southern Department of the Continental Army after other commanders had failed. It was Greene who drove British General Cornwallis to surrender at Yorktown. Unable to participate or witness the victorious battle, he was forced to immediately return South with his troops, and subdue the remaining British forces. Greene led his troops in battle and laid siege for a year after the victory at Yorktown. His persistence finally forced the British to evacuate the South. George Washington and Nathanael Greene were the only general officers who served in that position throughout the war. Greene led his men in more battles than any other general officer, including Washington. Moreover, it was Greene who was constantly harassed by Congress, and ultimately forsaken by them. Three years after the official end of the war, Nathanael Greene was dead. His premature death was not only a result of the intense hardships of war, but the hardships and cruelty inflicted on him by the United States Congress. Janet Uhlar was born in Quincy, Massachusetts--the hometown of John Adams, John Quincy Adams, John Hancock, and Josiah Quincy, Jr. Through her works of biographical-fiction, she hopes to present the extraordinary stories of forgotten heroes of the American Revolution. Janet firmly believes that when the private lives and unique personalities of historical figures are presented, and the dynamics between these characters brought out, history becomes much more than cold black print on a stark white page. History takes on a life of its own, with true flesh and blood individuals whose acts of courage, indifference, or cowardice shaped the world we live in today. This living history helps us relate to those who have gone before--offering inspiration, courage, and a sense of determination. Janet is also the author of Liberty's Martyr: The Story of Dr. Joseph Warren. She lives on Cape Cod in Massachusetts.

Book Synopsis The Price of Freedom Denied by : Brian J. Grim
Download or read book The Price of Freedom Denied written by Brian J. Grim and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Price of Freedom Denied shows that, contrary to popular opinion, ensuring religious freedom for all reduces violent religious persecution and conflict. Others have suggested that restrictions on religion are necessary to maintain order or preserve a peaceful religious homogeneity. Brian J. Grim and Roger Finke show that restricting religious freedoms is associated with higher levels of violent persecution. Relying on a new source of coded data for nearly 200 countries and case studies of six countries, the book offers a global profile of religious freedom and religious persecution. Grim and Finke report that persecution is evident in all regions and is standard fare for many. They also find that religious freedoms are routinely denied and that government and the society at large serve to restrict these freedoms. They conclude that the price of freedom denied is high indeed.

Book Synopsis Freedom at All Costs by : Daniel K. Luc
Download or read book Freedom at All Costs written by Daniel K. Luc and published by . This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FREEDOM, an inalienable right endowed by the Creator, is granted to many as a privilege from the day of birth. But for Daniel K. Luc, it was as elusive as the enemy he fought in the jungle during the Vietnam War. While serving as an army interpreter to the U.S. military advisors in the spring of 1972, on what seemed to be a routine intelligence briefing visit to a small border town near Cambodia, he and U.S. Army officer, Major Thomas A. Davidson, became trapped in one of the fiercest battles in the war - the battle of Loc Ninh. After their camp was overrun by a huge North Vietnamese Army and surrounded by the enemy, both men had to find their way back to their friendly forces. Even in the midst of the bloody and cruel fighting and trying to evade being captured, they discovered true faith, friendship and humanity. The fall of Saigon in 1975, stripped every hope that Daniel's country could ever be free again. He and his young family joined others, the so called "boat people," to make a desperate gamble with their lives. They sailed into the roaring sea in an overcrowded and rickety fishing boat in search of freedom and a better life on distant shores. This personal, fascinating story of faith will inspire those who love freedom and are willing to pay the cost necessary to defend it.

Book Synopsis The Price of Freedom by : T. Stephen Whitman
Download or read book The Price of Freedom written by T. Stephen Whitman and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stereotypical image of manumission is that of a benign plantation owner freeing his slaves on his deathbed. But as Stephen Whitman demonstrates, the truth was far more complex, especially in border states where manumission was much more common. Whitman analyzes the economic and social history of Baltimore to show how the vigorous growth of the city required the exploitation of rural slaves. To prevent them from escaping and to spur higher production, owners entered into arrangements with their slaves, promising eventual freedom in return for many years' hard work. The Price of Freedom reveals how blacks played a critical role in freeing themselves from slavery. Yet it was an imperfect victory. Once Baltimore's economic growth began to slow, freed blacks were virtually excluded from craft apprenticeships, and European immigrants supplanted them as a trained labor force.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book eloquently captures the story of our lives from childhood to old age. Starting in the days we fell in love, when with big dreams we started on our life's journey. Living in a socialist country we faced many challenges but being young and inexperienced we believed nothing could stop us from reaching our goals. After twenty years of persistent work, we were successful but living in constant fear of the communist leaders because of our different beliefs. We realized that money, cars and houses didn't mean happiness. Life without FREEDOM is miserable. Leaving everything behind, we miraculously escaped socialism with our teenage boys. America gave us an opportunity to start a new life. We faced enormous obstacles. On the road of life we experienced everything... disappointments, hate, success, joy, happiness and painful tears which helped us appreciate every moment of life. Our story is one of a kind. It gives a glimpse to the history, political and nationality differences in Slovakia and how serious and funny life could be.

Book Synopsis The Cost of My Freedom by : Apostle Dr Samuel Fowler
Download or read book The Cost of My Freedom written by Apostle Dr Samuel Fowler and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we think of freedom, we think of a life that benefits from the quality or state of being free. There is the idea of having no constraints in the choices that we make. Freedom speaks to the fact that one is liberated from whatever previously held him captive. There is a lot being said these days about human rights, which include things such as Freedom of speech, Freedom of assembly, Freedom of worship etc. Despite all of the efforts made by individuals and world organizations, there are still many nations and perhaps billions of individuals who do not enjoy what one would call this basic freedom. As you read this book, there are many people who are fighting for their freedom because there are those who want to rob them of their rights; and so, what we see being experienced in this world is the sad realization that there is no real freedom outside of Jesus Christ. In The Cost of My Freedom, Samuel Fowler addresses the issues that faced the human race because of the act of disobedience in the Garden of Eden, which placed us all in a state of bondage, and how Jesus came and set us free through His death and resurrection. He also dealt with what we would face when we form a real relationship with Christ, and how He will fulfill his promise, never to leave us alone. You will learn about: Forgiveness Freedom from Paradise The impact of a relationship with Christ Gathering storm clouds Deceit, Power and Imprisonment As you read you will be encouraged to trust Christ for a freedom that will last; a freedom that Christ paid for on your behalf. "If the son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed" (John 8: 36)
